“The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” is Turning 20!

On August 25, 1998, greatness was unleashed. Lauryn Hill’s solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, is one of the greatest albums of all time! It’s one of the few albums I can listen to from beginning to end without skipping a single song or interlude! The lead single, Doo Wop (That Thing) was Hill’s first and only Billboard Hot 100 number-one, to date. It won Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song at the 1999 Grammy Awards on February 24, 1999. “Doo Wop (That Thing)” debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the tenth song in the chart’s history to do so, and the first debut single to do so.
